GOD
God is neither male
God is nor female
God is neither not-
not male
God is nor not-not
female
God is the sky-scape
God is emptiness
absolute.
If God were not
female
How female could be
created by God?
If God were not male
How come men are
created by God?
The emptiness has in
it
Both the man and the
woman.
Of course, men and
women
Come from emptiness
With clouds of glory
Have you the eyes to
see that?
DIS-EASE
The god of our being
tells us:
Why are you drunk
with jealousy,
hatred and pride?
I have created you
as complementary to
each other.
Give up quarrel and
pride.
Love and honour each
other.
Be sympathetic to
each other
Life will be full of
honey.
Every work will be
exciting
and entertaining
The body and the
mind
will overflow with
vitality
That man is superior
and woman is
inferior,
is your
improvisation.
Shatter the wall of
discrimination
Your pride and
vanity
is a cause of your
dis-ease.
WHY, OH, WHY?
With bone-breaking
labour
for twenty-four
hours
and heart-felt love
with hard earned
money
and capabilities
they build the nest
Why neglect it?
Why raise a wall
Separating one
another?
I am the best
You are the worst
This is my work
And that is yours
I am in the front
You must remain
unseen.
Look at the mirror
Come let us play
In the Garden of
Life
Raised by God the
father
Once the play is
over
We will return home
together
in His safe
shelter.
